Banana Man is Ghoti Hook's second CD on Tooth and Nail Records. It continues the band's trademark sound started with Sumo Surprise, combining Christianity with humor and fast melodic punk.

"Great punk music. Sounds kewl. Thats Combat Chuck on the cover. (See the Five Iron Frenzy track on the Upbeats And Beatdowns album).The best bands are Five Iron Frenzy, The W's, MxPx, Squad Five-o, and the Insyderz."

"This was a pretty good cd. I have to say though, it wasnt as good as their previous CD, because the lyrics weren't nearly as deep (although they did have a few serious songs on this album, it was more just funny and messing around). This definately was their last REALLY good album though....after Conrad left, they lost alot of their musical talent as he was pretty much their main music writer and lyric writer. Notice they did a cover CD after he left because they weren't all that good of songwriters wihtout him. ANYWAYS, this is a good, happy, fun punk CD, and Ghoti Hook is a great band....even in their later CDs."
Insane music -- the entire time!

"Unlike some other CD's this one is upbeat and just crazy the entire time through instead of just the first few songs. Unlike some other bands in their genre, Ghoti Hook focuses on positive ideas and isn't depressing or anything like that. While their music doesn't say "God" everyother word, they do mention God and their churches and such in the thanks section and you definately sense their spirtuality in their lyrics."
Good 'ol Ghoti Hook.

"In Ghoti Hook's sophomore release they put out another zany, energy filled, Punk Rock funfest. Granted, this is not their best work, but it is still very fun to listen to. Another thing, I know Ghoti Hook's lyrics are anything but serious, but that is part of thier style that I like so much. If they were to turn into another serious Punk band I would be angry. I mean there are tons awesome serious Punk bands out there that I love. But Ghoti Hook's uniquely hilarious style of music has it's place in the industry. I mean, think about it....is there any other band like Ghoti Hook? Simply answered, no there isn't."
